Everything about the vicarage is lovely, I cannot fault it. 👍

Tips:

Make sure you pre-book restaurants in St ives before you go, the Loft and Porthminster beach cafe are a must. If you decide to walk to Zennor via the coastal route stop off at the tinners arms for a crab sandwich😍

You have a pleasant and opminded service. You made our super late check-in possible, of which we are so very gratefull. And we enjoyed our short chats with staff and husbond very much. You run the most clean but yet original B&B hotel. And we felt "at home" upon arrival. We will recommend "The old Vicarage" to anyone going to St. Ives.

Tips:

Very easy access with car, which was so helpfull in getting to and from St. Ives, and use The Old Vicarage as a hub touring the rest of west Cornwall. Just a short drive go for a 45 min walk up Rosewall hill and experience the magnificient view. Remember to visit the Barbara Hepworth museum and sculpture garden and take your afternoon Cornish cream tea in the nearby church garden with a view of the harbour.

Walking down the drive to The Old Vicarage is like entering a more gracious, leisured world. The big garden is lush and well-tended and the spacious, panelled entrance hall gives a warm welcome. The staff are friendly and helpful, there's a high standard of cleanliness and the breakfast includes home-made food. There is plenty of parking space. We have stayed there quite a few times and would warmly recommend it.

Tips:

A drive along the coastal road B3306 is a must for us, and we always visit the gastropub The Gurnard's Head just beyond Zennor. If you walk into St Ives it's easy to find a taxi back.

We found the Old Vicarage to be exactly what we were looking for which was a homely, quaint and inviting B&B. The location was good for us and we enjoyed the fact that it was away from the tourist centre and a quiet place to retire to at the end of the day. We loved the little client bar and enjoyed sitting in this delightful room filled with character and treasured momentos. We enjoyed the beautifully cooked and prepared breakfast and found Amanda too be very friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is that we live in Australia and could not visit more regularly. Thank you Dianne I hope you continue to run the Old Vicarage into the future it really is a gem! Rosemary & Rob.

Visit St Michaels Mount The Barbara Hepworth Museum is a gem The cafe on Porthmeor Beach was very good with great food and magnificent views

The breakfast was outstanding served with local produce and everything you could wish for. The hotel is ideally placed for a short walk into St Ives and after a full day exploring there are always taxis back. Thank you once again.

We were very grateful that you could find us a room at such short notice. The hotel is in a beautiful building but is slightly out of town. The owner was very friendly and helpful and recommended the sunset at Porthmeor Beach Cafe which was a highlight of our trip! Breakfast was lovely - especially the home made granola.

Excellent place to stay. Lovely property, lovely staff/owner, very clean, amazing breakfast, easy to park, good heating/ventilation, excellent shared spaces - lounge, bar. Would absolutely stay again The only 2 observations - mattress on soft side. I know many like this. Personally prefer firm - broadband seemed slow. However good fast speeds on EE 4G, so I just used that. But to re-emphasize. This is a beautiful, amazing place to visit, and I'd have no hesitation in recommending

Very homely, comfortable bed in spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Excellent selection of refreshments..tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc.in room With fridge for guests use in the dining room. Superb choice for breakfast, individually cooked to your liking. Lounge and honesty bar at guests disposal. Car parking. My 3rd stay there but hopefully not my last.

Tips:

Situated on the outskirts at the top of St.Ives near to Bernard Leach pottery. About 15-20 mins walk down into town or down to Porthmeor beach and the Tate gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum. Easy access to the beautiful coastal route to St Just and Lands End but be prepared for narrow winding roads and a leisurely drive, not a speedy one. Can recommend the Sunday carvery at the Quay House at Hayle.

In short - "AMAZING" ! You could not wish to meet any more friendly people, Dianne, Martin & Jack - You should be very proud of yourselves - The Old Vicarage is a real gem ! It is not just an Hotel - It is so much more - It is nothing short of amazing ! - Beautiful, Stunning and remarkable ! "A real home from home" feeling from check in to check out. Dianne & Martin you are truly amazing hosts with excellent customer care skills - Friendly, polite & professional - Put simply "You are the best" Now I have to pay a special mention fto "Amanda" - Wow what a genuine nice person you are - Dedicated to ensuring your guests are well looked after at all times, Again you could not wish to meet a better person, "Your genuine, polite, Friendly & Professional caring ways" - Help to ensure guests are made to feel welcome and at home during their stay. - You are an asset to the Old Vicarage & both Julie & I (Barrie) - Would like to say "A VERY BIG - THANK - YOU" - For your dedication & Friendly & Polite manner in which you deliver "Excellent service with a smile" - At all times ! Dianne, Martin, Jack & Amanda - We "THANK - YOU ALL" - For all your care and dedication and for looking after us during our "Only too short stay" - At the Old Vicarage - "It really was very much appreciated" We don't have any dates yet, But look forward to planning our return stay to the Old Vicarage at the earliest possible opportunity !

Tips:

See as much as you can Do as much as you can - (Or as little as you can !) Eat, Drink & Be merry Plan your return visit to St Ives - As soon as you can But do your selves a favour - Return to the Old Vicarage - As often as you can ! See the usual visitor attractions and resorts, Support local people and businesses & Make the most of local transport services to explore every where and experience the beauty of Cornwall - With out the hassle of trying to find a parking space when you get there (Because unless you get there before breakfast - You may struggle during the summer months) Plan ahead if you want to make the most of your time in Cornwall - But spend as much time in St Ives as you can - Because it really is the "Jewel in the crown of Cornwall" (In our un biassed opinion !) If you really want to experience a truly unique holiday ? - Personally we think - You could not miss the opportunity of spending some quality time exploring the Isles of Scilly - But first of all spend some time in St Ives - Then visit the Isles of Scilly - But on your return to Cornwall spend more quality time in St Ives to finish off your holiday. (Not sure if the Isles of Scilly are right for you ? - Well why not visit on a "Day Trip" during your holiday) - If you enjoy a less hectic way of life and enjoy a quiet way of life with time to unwind and relax or walking or bird watching - Or simply wish to enjoy Island hopping by boat ? - Then we think you will really enjoy the experience of Scilly life - But if you enjoy the frills of "City life" with all the madness of crowds and pushing and shoving ? - But still wish to visit near by Islands with a sub tropical climate with out commitment to booking a few days staying there - Then may be you would benefit from taking advantage of visiting Scilly on a day trip basis ? Before this difficult age of "Covid" - We have never experienced any difficulty in booking to eat any where - HOWEVER :- Sadly this year that all seems to have changed (So now our advice would be "Plan & Book in advance" - Or you may not be able to obtain a table reservation ?) A VERY BIG "THANKS" - TO DIANNE & MARTIN @ the OLD VICARAGE - FOR SUPPLYING A LIST WITH DETAILS - Prior to arriving - "It really made the world of difference" & Was very much much appreciated indeed !

We were family of 3 adults and had very nice stay for 3 nights.This house is in a quiet location not far from the town centre and beaches. Room was nice with tea/coffee and biscuits. Lovely cooked breakfast options to start your day.Town centre and beach is around 15 minutes walk. Taxi from town centre cost around £5 if this is preferred and there are buses also. The house itself is quite beautiful and we were welcomed by Dianne who showed us all the facilities.

The Old Vicarage is a very beautiful Victorian House decorated in an authentic Victorian style (no horrid, cheap furniture). Diane and her staff were very helpful and friendly. There is a bar so I was able to enjoy a cold beer in the garden. Lovely breakfast. The gardens are surrounded by big trees which give shade and privacy. The private parking is invaluable and the house is a short walk downhill into St Ives which means you can enjoy the town and then retreat from the high season tourism.

Great location for striking out from St Ives, good value, easy to find, and only 15-20 mins walk into the town. A really quiet place to stay, away from the St Ives seafront. Service was A1, the room was comfortable and clean, and we REALLY appreciate you going out of your way to get gluten free sausages for breakfast. Above and beyond - thank you.

Tips:

Slightly odd location tucked away in a housing estate but don’t let that put you off. There was a shuttle bus to town and Tate from the rugby club, only couple of minutes walk from Old Vicarage. About 20 min walk into town which is pretty steep on the return.

Great location, in a lovely, historical building. The owners and staff were very attentive to us and other people staying at The Old Vicarage, keen to make us very welcome and comfortable. The choices given for breakfast included homemade yogurt, fresh fruit, homemade jam and local honey, with cooked options including vegetarian, but all from local produce, beautifully cooked by Dianne.

Tips:

The town centre and beach are within a twenty minute walk, (mainly downhill), or there's a local bus (£1.50 one way) to take you there. We found St.Ives very busy of an evening (late July) when trying to find somewhere to eat, so either book a table or drive out to a less busy area! Loads of places to visit and things to do, catering for all interests.

The Old Vicarage is a lovely home with beautiful gardens. Close enough to the town center to get to everything but away from the narrow streets and crowds. It's easy to get to and easy to park at. The room was comfortable and immaculately clean. And when I had a question about an item in the rook at 10 PM, the proprietor was available and cheerful about helping out. Breakfast was both bountiful and delicious. A real treat. We'd stay again -- and longer next time!

A fantastic place, beautiful and comfortable, and easy to reach places worth visiting in that art of Cornwall. Diane and Martin are kind and warm and happy for to help when needed. We arrived with a small problem with the car bumper. By the time we returned to the hotel after a walk around in town, about a couple of hours, Martin has fixed it. And it was a help, not a chargeable service. That really started our short break on a great note. Thank you. The cat is friendly, too.

Very old fashioned and quaint bedroom with perhaps a bit too many clashing patterns for some, reminded me of sleeping at my nans as a child, which wasn't a bad memory, far from it, but may not be to everyone's taste. Access to St Ives a walk down the hill, plenty of taxis waiting to bring you bavk at the end of the night if you dont fancy the 20ish min walk, reasonably priced and regular too.

The Market Place had the best cream tea and scones and make sure to take the walking tour with Dawn that begins at the Guildhall - she was wonderful!

I enjoyed my stay. It was a good distance from the center of St Ives if you enjoy walking. It was great to be able to bring my dog also. Breakfast was very nice- I enjoyed the fresh fruits and yoghurt in particular. The owner was able to recommend a great pub nearby for dinner. I would stay there if I was in St Ives again.

Old well kept house. Rooms and bathrooms spotlessly clean and decorated in sympathy with age of house. House kept very warm. Lovely garden. Excellent breakfast, homemade granola first class and Cornish breakfast made to order. Taxi into harbour only £6.

Tips:

Old Vicarage is surrounded by houses and gate into it can be missed. Drive in and gardens very cleverly give impression the house is on it's own in the country. We had an excellent meal at Caffe Pasta in the harbour and very good lunch at the Beach Restaurant also in the harbour. New Tate gallery worth a visit

Beautiful old building, kept in style. Rooms excellent, great lounge and honesty bar, extensive breakfast choice. Old Vicarage is about 15 minutes out of town up hill so not so convenient for frequent trips into town but on the plus side has plenty of parking.

Tips:

Bernard Leach pottery museum and studio is just round the corner. Habour View hotel great for afternoon tea. Porthminster gallery has wonderful but pricey artwork.

Dianne and Martin were so welcoming and helpful, they clearly love their home and grounds. Peter was super attentive at breakfast. We felt at home from the minute we arrived which was great. We were in Room 5 with views over the garden, we loved the décor and really beautiful bedding, plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The bathroom was well equipped with toiletries and the blue and white Victorian toilet was so unusual. The breakfasts and packed lunches were excellent. We were only here for 3 nights but would have stayed longer and hope to return in the future.

Tips:

Cliff top walks are lovely. The Seafood café in St Ives is well worth a visit, there is an excellent range of fresh fish as well as pork, chicken or steak. A visit to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Gardens is a must. If you are able to time your visit to a guided 'tour' then do so it brings everything to life. This is a small garden but so much to see and very tranquil. If you want a good beach with plenty of space for all try Carbis Bay a short drive or train journey away. The Eden Project is about 90 mins away, expensive for a family and a long day particularly for the old or young - Take a packed lunch. The Lost Gardens of Heligan is supposed to be brilliant but we didn't have time to visit. The Old Vicarage is a fair walk uphill from the town. The walk into town is pleasant but do take a taxi (£5) or bus (£2) back - we did walk back once, it is steeper than you think and our legs ached for days!

Tips:

The Southwest Coast Trail is a beautiful walk. We had the best sunset dinner at the Porthmeor Cafe, across from the Tate Museum. We loved skipping the taxi and taking the invigorating walk back from town up to the Vicarage.

Charming accommodation in a beautiful garden setting. Very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious comfortable room with lots of little extra touches such as the heated towel rail in the bathroom and the biscuits which were a welcome touch to have with a cup of tea, to name just a couple. One of the best breakfasts I have experienced.

Tips:

Allow plenty of time to explore the surrounding countryside, the cobbled streets and Tate St Ives, or sample one of the local Cornish pasties while enjoying the view over the bay. Make sure to ride the scenic train between St Ives and St Erth....more than once. It's awesome!

Lovely place to stay with gorgeous bedrooms beautifully decorated, with tea and coffee making facilities, fresh milk and bottled water all available on arrival, with very posh biscuits all complimentary. Wonderful friendly welcome, both by email in advance of the visit (with excellent tips for arrival and routes to avoid due to traffic), and in person by Dianne. The Vicarage has bar facilities, very nice to be able to have a quiet drink at the end of the evening. Lovely breakfast. The Vicarage is not in the centre of St Ives, a 15 walk away, but it is therefore wonderfully quiet and peaceful and away from the melee of central St Ives, with easy parking. Highly recommended, I wish we could have stayed much longer

The hotel has a very interesting decor /furnishing so any minimalists will be in for a shock- I loved it . The breakfasts were superb with many home made products on the menu . Highly recommended

Tips:

Be prepared for 15/20 mins walk down to SI - going down is fine but climbing back is a challenge . There is a bus service about 100 yards away at the SI Ives Rugby Club during the day & probably longer in the season. The Tate & Barbara Hepworth Galleries. Most of the restaurants offer good modern menus & excellent service but I found the Porthmeor Beach Cafe to be outstanding. outstanding

Tips:

Walk along the rugged Cornish coast to spot seals, birds of prey and then back to the beautiful sandy beaches with turquoise waves rolling in. Go back in time walking through the old town and have a drink beside the harbor. We particularly liked the Seafood Cafe for evening dinner. Great short stay.

E-mail communication prior to arrival helpful and very thoughtful.

Tips:

We enjoyed two meals at The Queen--Sunday lunch being very good. Also enjoyed a meal at the restaurent on the sea front at Porthmeor beach where they were especially good with young children. Service and food very good at both venues. Booking ahead is worth doing, and is essential at the Fish Cafe.

We were delighted with The Old Vicarage. A quiet location with space to sit outside in tree lined gardens. Ample parking space allowing freedom to leave your car behind and so not have to battle for parking in St Ives centre. All rooms were clean and tidy, the staff friendly, helpful and available. The breakfast was magnificent with a wide choice available to suit all, set you up for the day. The location is about 15 to 20 minutes walk down hill into St Ives, but there is ample local transport e.g bus from the Rugby club 200 metres away (£1) also local taxis available at reasonable prices. Do the walking if your able.

Tips:

There are many local restaurants to visit, depends on your taste. Would recommend Blas Burger normally a first come first served small restaurant specialising in great burgers, brill. For something special Porthminster Kitchen, excellent food and service with good views over the harbour. Lots to choose fromin St Ives, for large parties 6 and over suggest do your homework and try and book a few weeks before you travel.

Be prepared for a bit of a walk into town and to the beach area. It is fairly steep. but is a nice bit of exercise if you like a walk. Also, it is a fairly cheap cab ride if you don't want to walk.
